ACED Skills Exchange and Development Travel Awards
These awards enable ACED researchers and PhD students to visit another ACED Member Centre(s) for knowledge exchange to learn or impart a key skill or technique, and to sow the seeds of future collaborations.
Applications will be accepted from Alliance researchers regardless of career stage including PhD students. Applications for PhD students must be made on their behalf by their principal PhD Supervisor.
Applicants must be a researcher at an ACED Member Centre and a current ACED member. ACED researchers may also apply for virtual opportunities to include costs for running training or request funding for related training/career development opportunities. It is the applicant’s responsibility to approach a potential Alliance Member Centre to identify and secure suitable learning and development opportunities.
Applicants are advised to read the guidance and application form
Applications will be considered in any research area(s) listed in the ACED scientific strategy with a focus on early detection of primary cancer.
Completed applications must be submitted to d.kelberman@ucl.ac.uk in MS Word format. Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis while the scheme is open.
Funding decisions will be made at quarterly meetings of the Alliance Executive Board.
